Simple with many functions [Posted on 2008-06-12]
Thanks to this alarm clock, I do not have to check the weather station every morning. One glance of the clock could give a lot of information. Such as time, weather, day of the month, temperature. The projection also rotates so you can place any where in the room and still able to read them the right way. And it's not bulky so it does not take too much space. It would've been better if they had radio station alarm instead of just beeper. There is also minor noise when the LCD light is turned on. But as of now I'm satisfied with this item but might replace it with the radio alarm in the future.
Great product, but not very durable [Posted on 2008-06-29]
This was a great product that did everything that was promised. Unfortunately it's not very durable. We only had it for a week before the snooze button was permanently pressed in. The only way to fix it would be to take it apart. That really wasn't an option as I'm sure the warranty would've been voided and I couldn't be certain that I could put it back together!
Other than it's durability my only other problem with the clock is the set up for Celsius/Fahrenheit and 24/12 hour time display.
For some reason you can only view the temperature in Celsius if you change the time display to the 24 hour clock (i.e. military time). Conversely, if you prefer to display the time using the 24 hour clock you are forced to view the temperature in Celsius.
This really isn't a huge deal and I easily could have lived with it, however I don't think it would have been too difficult to be able give the user some more flexibility in choosing how to display the information on the clock.
That being said, I would have kept the clock if the snooze button hadn't broken. I ended up returning the item and got a refund without any problems.

Love this alarm clock. You have dual settings for the alarm. It shows the time on the wall or ceiling. Where ever you want it. It can tell you the temp inside and outside and weather it;s sunny, cloudy, ect. Great clock!
projection clock alarm [Posted on 2008-07-29]
I wasn't sure I would like this product. It's compact, which is good. The projection screen is perfect. the alarm is not too harsh, which is what I was concerned about. I love it. My only issue is at night the main screen is not illuminated. But overall... I love it!
Good alarm clock, nice features [Posted on 2008-10-01]
I've had this alarm clock for almost a week. Nice small size. The projection works perfectly. During the day it is very hard if not impossible to see but, at night or with the curtains pulled it's perfect. The projection is bright enough but, not annoying or distracting. The image can be rotated in 90 degree increments, so no matter which side of the bed you are on or how you want the clock to face you can read the projection properly. You can set it to just display the time or alternate between the time and outside temp. There are 3 settings for the brightness of the projection: off, low and high.
I had no problems getting the outside unit or clock to work. I put batteries in the outside unit, batteries in the clock and plugged it in. A few minutes later it was working with the correct time.
The backlight does hum when it's on but, it only comes on when you hit a button. Setting, activating and deactivating the alarms is simple. The alarm is a series of beeps. Not too loud but, loud enough.
I'm very pleased with my purchase.
